Deputy Head of Junior School and IB PYP Coordinator

The position start date is negotiable but no later than Monday 16 April 2018, the start of term 2.

Under the leadership of the Head of the Junior School, McMillan House is a dynamic learning environment where a warm sense of community embraces staff, students and parents in state-of-the-art facilities. The Deputy Head of Junior School has a leadership role which embraces both curricular and management areas.

As St Leonard’s College is committed to The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), this position will be of particular interest to teachers who have a genuine interest in innovation in primary education. Experience in and an ability to demonstrate a strong grasp of curriculum models is essential and whilst a knowledge and experience of the IB PYP is desirable, it is not a requirement. A strong background in mathematics and science will also be viewed as an advantage, but similarly, is not a requirement.

The College reserves the right to interview and employ a successful candidate before the closing date.
